I am finished with treatment last r/t end of jan....70 grey and seven cisplatin infusions and I made it through.
Lost 40 lbs. by the end of it and it really kicked my butt!
C/T SCANS in march and august showed a significant reduction in the size of the involved lymp nodes.PET sacn in may clear! I have been able to start going to the gym again since june but I am taking it fairly easy with my exercise. Recent follow up with my oncologist indicated an continued lower hemaglobin at 10.9 and elevated CPK (2,000)and slightly high Creatine.Are these typical side effects that you may see due to reduced kidney function with cisplatin and or radiation. I have been trying to eat better with more fruits and salads but maybe I am getting too much protien causing these levels to be elevated.
Further lab work next week as well as a kidney ultrasound to be done.
